Sweet, a Slipknot plug

These have a large tail weight and a couple of belly weights placed so that they float at an angle like an injured fish, with the cup of the face entirely clear of the water. They are dressed w/ 3/0 vmc's on the belly and a 6/0 vmc siwash on the tail.

I just put hooks on the three pogies and 2 floated like they were supposed to so I will bring those two and you can take your pick.

One was a little to a$$ heavy and was barely floating. I don;t have a duplicator so they are all slightly different. Once you add the speed of the retrieve it would probably be ok but it will not have the action that I wanted them to have. They have a deep cup and a flat head, so if they are too heavy they tend to try and go under when you pop them. I'll keep that one, and drill a little lead out of the tail.

I'll have to test float them all tonight when I hang the hooks.
